SDA005: Jeremie Voillot – Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and More!

Today I had the chance to sit down and talk with one of my industry idols: Jeremy Voillot. Jeremie is a graduate of the Vancouver Film School where he studied Sound Design. Since graduating Jeremie has had an amazing career working as a sound designer on Mass Effect, senior sound designer on Dragon Age Origins, then continuing onto such titles as Dragon Age 2 & 3 plus Mass Effect 2 & 3. Jeremie is presently Audio Director 2 at Bioware.

Show Notes

DJ’d for a number of years before attending school

Attended the Vancouver Film School where he got his degree in Sound Design

Got his first gig on Mass Effect 1 after deciding not to pursue getting into the Vancouver film scene

If you get a chance in Dragon Age Inquisition, stop by a hollow log, tree, and other materials and just listen. You’ll notice they dynamically change based on the wind velocity that naturally picks up and slows down. It’s all dynamic.

The first dragon took a year and half
